Act on it…” > I need to experiment on my own but I’m sure those signals are there regardless and you’re just starting to really notice them because you’re thinking… is this the result of the pheromone? what should i do? Whereas before you probably didn’t recognize these signals as much of anything, but I could be wrong. > But why don’t people just act on _it_ without pheromones, why do they need a false sense of invincibility, that they paid for, to fulfill their goals? > I don’t act on these signals in real life, and I highly doubt these pheromones will make my balls and esteem larger… it’s a personally issue I got to fight and conquer. > I haven’t tried any of the products here yet but with the stuff I’ve been reading, and the empty results from pherlure, can’t say I’m much interested anymore. > IDK how justified this post is as I haven’t used any of these pheromone products but in my mind it’s simple… I haven’t done a standard deviation curve or any of those things but if there are a lot of people that are unhappy well.. something’s up. Especially within such a “small” community and targeted market… Pheromones are only part of the overall picture of why someone is attracted to you. Looks, personality, social status, etc etc etc definitely play a part; more-so than pheromones I would argue. This is why along with pheromone discussion, you see a lot of discussion on self-improvement on the forum. Pheromones are only part of the overall ‘attractive’ equation. So whats the benefit to using pheromones then? Pheromones, when used appropriately, work as enhancers of appeal…they themselves are not creators of appeal (as many less reputable companies like pherlure would have you believe). They make people much more responsive and reactive to you and your actions…and that really is where pheromone effects are most obvious: how people receive and respond to you. To me searching for indirect signals is a horrible measure of the effects of pheromones…it leaves too much room to question what’s really going on. The best measure of a pheromone or mixes effects are how people react when you actively interact with them. Going back the effects of Instant Honesty, the most immediate effect I notice is an accelerated establishment of rapport with someone. Works very well as an ice-breaking pheromone. People tend to befriend you and feel socially comfortable much more quickly than they might have under normal conditions. Generally people will feel and act much closer to you than they might normally feel. People you know and are comfortable with already have a tendency to open up more than they normally would. The honesty effect to me is a more extreme effect to beta androstenol. When beta androstenol has a significantly strong enough impact on someone, it can make someone so comfortable with you socially that they delve into conversation topics which they normally would have kept to themselves. At these ranges, IH can have a similar effect on me, and might even be considered an OD. Anyway I do think that both smooth and you have a point though…as a lot of the effects that we see our subject to our own interpretation, and our expectations while wearing pheromones can drastically affect how we interpret things. AD recognizes this actually, and releases all of their test pheromones without any prior information of what the effects are supposed to be. This eliminates biased perceptions of what the pheromones do. This is again, why I base the success of pheromones on actual behavioral changes and progress than superficial ‘signs’ and what not. Oh yeah Smooth actually did a follow up to this thread not to long ago. > **[PheromoneTalk](https://pheromonetalk.com/mens-pheromone-advice-tricks-tips/life-without-pheromones-not-great-rant-2629.html)** > > Everything about using pheromones to enhance your social life --- _[View the full topic](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/its-all-in-your-head/1676)._
